Patriots Make Interesting Roster Move Ahead of Dolphins Game

Report: Pats make interesting roster move ahead of Dolphins game originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston

The New England Patriots will have the same amount of kicker depth as quarterback depth for Sunday.

The Patriots elevated kicker Nick Folk and quarterback Brian Hoyer from the practice squad Saturday ahead of their season opener against the Miami Dolphins, ESPN's Mike Reiss reports. New England also placed wide receiver Malcolm Perry on injured reserve, per Reiss.

That means the Patriots likely will have two kickers on their active roster Sunday in Folk and rookie Quinn Nordin.
